I want the vibrant colour in the bath but also the shimmer from the mica so can you use the dye and the mica together in the bath bombs to get the bright colour but also the shimmer too?
2-3 tbsp depending on how shimmery you’d like the water. They say 1-2 tbsp per pound, 454g is 1 lb. Each synthetic fluorogophite listing should have a recommended usage rate though
You don’t HAVE to, as water soluable dyes won’t stain, but it’s good to use to disperse the oil into the water. It’s preference and up to you how well you feel the oil disperses from your recipe
The synthetic fluorphlogopite is that the only form of synthetic mica that dispersed in the water like that. Your video was extremely helpful in the making of my business and I’m onto my second launch, I want to find different colors of that mermaid water lol. Having trouble finding a supplier
Yes it is! But there are plenty of suppliers that carry it - if you are in Canada I get mine from Saraphinas coastal colours and windy point soap supplies. You don’t need different colours of synthetic fluorogopite - usually it comes in either silver or gold and you can mix it with water soluable dye to achieve mermaid water of any colour!
@@bubblebathsoapco2108 hi I purchased some synthetic mica, how much do I add to 1000g bi carb to create this look in the water.. as I use water base colour and polly 80 but I’m not getting any shine.. when I done the cup test look like yours
@@kirstywilliams682 for 1000g bicarbonate you would need to use at least 3-6 tbsp Each synthetic fluorogophite is different because of flake size, but typically 1-2 tbsp per pound of ingredients - not just bicarb (1 lb being 454g)
I should have watched this video before purchasing 4 different colours of mica powder expecting it to colour the water... it’s just sitting on top of it.... 🤦🏻♀️
If you’d like to back that statement with a credible source I’d think twice about using it, but polysorbate 80 is completely safe to use in bath & body products. The “”terrible”-ness of polysorbate 80 is when it’s used in food over a certain percentage, as ingesting it can be irritating. When bathing you are diluting an already small amount in a giant tub of water. There are many things on the planet that are terrible for you when you ingest them but perfectly safe when you don’t.
@@bubblebathsoapco2108 its actually known for people to go into shock or have a allergic reaction from it, natural is best. and when you come across at your subs like that, it makes you wonder why you only have 98 , its a CHEMICAL!!!!!!!!!!!! btw
@@empathofhope again, if you’d like to back that statement with a credible source I’d think twice about using it. From my extensive research polysorbate 80 is perfectly safe in bath and body products. I have never once known anyone to go into shock, and poly 80 is in a plethora of products. You’ve probably been using it for decades. As for my subs.. I have two videos and I don’t post regularly lol, of course I only have 98. Check out my Instagram. Have a great day!
@@empathofhope if you want to be taken seriously, you really should make a source available to back up your statements. That being said, there is no reason to be rude.
Yes of course! I personally mix water soluable dyes, lakes and synthetic mica all together in my bombs! Of course adding polysorbate-80 in the recipe 😊
Thank you so much, this was extremely helpful and a good demo on how they act when dispersed in water! I've seen plenty of videos that are hard to follow what they're saying and the demonstration is either out of frame or out of focus, so this was a beacon of light in my search for information
